Does the sentence The rain continued until dawn use passive voice?

The sentence "The rain continued until dawn" is not in the passive voice.

Here's why:

* Active Voice: The subject of the sentence ("rain") is performing the action ("continued").

* Passive Voice: The subject would be acted upon. For example, "The rain was continued until dawn" (by something unspecified).

In this case, the rain is the actor, not the receiver of the action.
